WRC May 2017 Mini Challenge

I thought it would be fun to base this year's mini-challenges around wacky national days.

This is a combination spell/task challenge. You may choose to do the task, the spell out option, or a combination of both.

Challenge Rules:The page limit requirement is 125 pages; however, participants are welcome to combine smaller books to reach the page limit. All books and formats are allowed (children's, manga, graphic novels, audiobooks, etc). Re-reads are fine - just be sure to re-read the entire book.

Challenge Updates:When posting updates for your challenge, please include the following information: a link to the title, the author's name, and the date you finished reading the book. If you want to share an update to your challenge, please copy and paste your update into a new message letting us know it is an update.

Completed Challenges:When you have completed this challenge, please copy and paste your entire challenge and repost in a new message, letting us know it is completed.

We prefer that you do not post links or generic messages regarding updates or completed challenges.
